technology, a lot of good, a lot of good. but as we grow, we lose. we lose families, neighborhoods, cities to companies. >> reporter: east palo alto is no different than many other bay area cities with bidding wars on properties and homes selling at above asking price. investors also swooped in during the housing bust when east palo alto saw more than its share of foreclosures. >> the council has really indicated that they wanted a mixed income community. >> reporter: the east palo alto planning manager says the city is doing everything it can to prevent market forces from driving out residents but even affordable housing providers have big challenges. >> they are finding that they are competing with very high net worth individuals or partners that make the provisioning of affordability particularly difficulty in this

area. >> reporter: spencer has seen the rent on her two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment jump from $865 a month to $1,300 a month in just the past few years. >> everything goes up. but unfortunately, salaries don't follow everything else. >> reporter: now, east palo alto does have a rent control ordinance and recently did something unique deciding to reduce the requirements for lot sizes for second units on the same property so if you want to build, say, a guest house or second house on the property there needs to be less land for that. the goal is to increase the housing stock to keep the prices down to try to accommodate all different income stratas here as the tech industry drives real estate through the roof. back to you. >> mark, you know, the story you mentioned affordable housing. how is that specifically defined? >> reporter: that's defined based on the median income in the county and in san mateo county that median income is

6:04 pm
whether that's reasonable or not i don't know but the rents are just no end in sight. >> reporter: san francisco led the nation with a 7-plus percent rent raise after the 2nd quarter. oakland and san jose were also in the top five nationally. in the bay area it's tough to achieve what experts suggest, a family of four living comfortably and using one quarter of their budget could only spend less than $1,700 on housing. on top of that is how quick the rentals go. he knows about that personally. his own son who is studying to be a real estate broker himself cannot get an apartment in san francisco. they are going too quickly. >> it's rare. you will find something on craigslist and we'll send an application right as we see it and we'll be in competition with 10 other applications. >> reporter: it's not just in the city. this condo in concord was rented in just three days. >> sometimes they don't even last 12 hours, sometimes a couple of days. but for the most part, stuff is going right away. >> reporter: but the first one we showed you is still on the market. 42 miles from san francisco, in

respectively they find themselves living in retirement at the moll dar residences in palo alto. they realize that for a younger generation, walking on the moon really is hard to believe. >> anyone who was not around at the time probably just does not realize what an incredible achievement for mankind and for the united states in particular that was. when you look at the moon, i looked at it last night, i thought, we really walked there? i know we did. but it's so remot, ancient history. >> the moon walk wasn't just a michael jackson move. as for man's future in space, he says we have lost our way. the emphasis should still be on manned space travel even though it's risky and very expensive. tonight actually in some parts of the bay area might be a perfect night to look at the moon. it's going to be so clear and gorgeous. >> it's going to be gorgeous. weather is going to be fine. before the moon comes up we'll have a great sunset because of
6:48 pm
the smoke from the wildfires. the moon will be out for many of you. look at the great clear sky we have from our dublin cam looking back toward mount diablo. 90s inland today and we'll do that again tomorrow. as is often the case with all the microclimates it's not sunny everywhere. the golden gate is spot number one when it comes to cloud cover because that's the biggest opening for that marine layer to work its way inland. it's also got a really nice bridge. concord 89, livermore 88, san francisco with marine layer inland 67 the high but down to 61 now. right in between we have san jose and santa rosa at a very comfortable 75 degrees. the traffic on i-80 is thick right now. everybody is heading to tahoe enjoying summertime. watch out for a few late day thunderstorms tomorrow. sunshine to start on sunday but a better chance of late day storms as people head back toward the bay area. upper 80s for highs. so warm and humid in lake tahoe. maybe you're heading to wine country. we have so many options around here. sunny warm tomorrow for sonoma. high of 86. mainly sunny skies, a little cloudier cooler on sunday with
6:49 pm
the high of 82. so there's a couple of things we just talked about between saturday and sunday for sonoma. cooler and cloudier. both will happen for all of us. both will find their origins in arizona. a lot of clouds and tropical moisture. its their monsoon season. some of that moisture will move into southern california and southern nevada tomorrow but our weather will stay the same. hot inland with highs in the 90s and near the bay comfortable in the mid-70s with morning clouds and afternoon sunshine. sunday the onshore flow increases and this low pressure area will act like a magnet and draw up some of that tropical moisture. i do not expect any rainfall but i expect that it's going to be cloudy on monday and tuesday dragging down temperatures, as well. so we'll have a cooling trend after tomorrow. we are going to be cloudy for the top of next week, too. so the cooldown starts monday, cloudy monday and tuesday. then rainfall, zero. when i say zero, no rain in
6:50 pm
july likely. livermore tomorrow 94. san jose average which is nice mid-80s. milpitas 81. union city 76. san mateo 74 with afternoon sunshine. concord will hit 91. you did 92 today. fairfield 95. pleasant hill 92. san rafael 82 degrees. petaluma 83. san francisco another nice day 67 with afternoon sunshine. ukaih triple digits today you will do triple digits again tomorrow. then we start cooling down on sunday. sunny and cooler. monday and tuesday cloudier with zero rainfall and toward the middle of next week, that sunshine is back and every day of the next seven will be close to normal. and that's a happy place to be this time of year. which golfers are happy after the british open today? we have sports coming up next. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
